Three mistakes this example avoids

  • Writing 'managed calendar' without saying for whom or at what volume of meetings.
  • Omitting the tools that EA job posts filter on — Outlook/Exchange, Concur, Zoom Rooms, Asana.
  • Presenting the role as purely administrative and hiding the projects, events or budgets you actually owned.
